The Principle of Flexform
2/17/2016Confidential 18

Sheet metal is formed over one shape defining tool half by a flexible rubber diaphragm, backed up by high hydraulic pressure
• The blank is placed on the rigid tool half. The press table is moved into the press where the diaphragm is located.
• Oil is pumped into the press above the diaphragm which is forced by the oil pressure to wrap the blank around the tool.
• After decompression, the press table is moved out

High-pressure
productivity increase
2/17/2016Confidential 21
C-flanged Parts:
• Formed to tolerance in a single pressing operation
• 37% savings in angles and flatness reworking
Large Parts and recessed parts:
• Formed to tolerance in a single pressing operation
• 25% savings in flatness reworking and number of pressing cycles
Shrink & stretch flanged parts:
• Less springback and wrinkles
• 42% savings in hand reworking

Flexform™ benefits
• Forming• Few forming steps
• No scratches from hard tools
• Forming with undercuts
• Excellent repeatability
• Time• Rapidly from idea to production
• Two tool stations – increased productivity
• Cost• Much lower tooling cost
• Cost efficient small to medium serial production

Flexform™ benefits – Deep draw
• Additional benefits
vs conventional forming• Good draw ratio
• Less thinning of material
• …. and thus stronger parts
• Short cycle time vs hot forming
• Short cycle time due to the double
load/unload stations

HIP of AM Parts
Facts for the AM Process
• AM is P/M process residual micro porosity fatigue issues
• Porosity depends on material, powder particle size, printing parameters, etc.
• Layer-by-layer process gives directional solidification
• Columnar grain structure in build direction Anisotropic properties
• Residual stresses are present after printing
HIP is the perfect complement to AM
• Capsule-free HIP possible
• Requirement: gas-tight surface
• Argon gas as pressure medium no surface reactions
• HIP gives 100 % relative density
• Improved fatigue and ductility properties
• Lower scattering in properties
• Columnar grain structure can be treated to achieve isotropic properties
• Residual stresses are relieved

Heat treatment in HIP
• Cooling in a modern HIP from with URC is fast enough for heat treatment of the load.
• With this possibility the HIP combines two process steps:• Less process steps
• Lower cost
• Better quality control
• Small HIP systems (HZ up to 0.3 x 0.8) offers quench possibilities with cooling rates up to 2000 C/min.
• With the HIP you get a flexible heat treatment:• Tailor-made recipes with infinite many holding, heating,
quenching and cooling steps.
